My brother is a Cubs fan and I tried to explain to him what this team is like. He had seen the pen blow some leads, but I said most games are like last night, where the Sox offense sleep walks against some crappy rightie with a slider. I called it “being strangled by the anaconda of boredom.”

Garden snake of ennui. 

Borchard McGwire Pasqua some of the longest bombs hit there that stand out, AJ. 

Referencing Alvarez blast last night.

Yes indeed, and making it worse it was with a man at third less than 2 outs, needing contact.  He should be benched.  You can’t swing at 2 balls in the dirt in that situation.  There has to be a price to pay.

Someone write Brooks Boyer.

Apparently Grandal was in original line up... then they decided to hold him off until Tuesday with the off day.

Anderson not hustling at all out of the box deserves a benching but Grifol probably refuses to put Romy out there. 

DP ball here from Vaughn? 

Astros playing dreadful defense so far today

man we can really f*** up any situation

Lol, Andrew Vaughn is so unathletic

Vaughn as slow as molasses there... even had time to look back Anderson at third lol. 

poor Cease lol, only a matter of time now 

Wow great speed. Vaughn chokes. 

Is there anyone on this team having a good season? 

Any way to watch this online without signing up with fubu?

Cease having a lot of trouble putting people away when he’s 94-96 on the fastball

Self fulfilling prophecy. This game has been a microcosm of all the Sox ills this season.  The DP /high ground ball rate, the Ks swinging outside of the zone, poor defense, failing to get a run in from 3rd with less than two outs, walks, terrible base running, lack of hustle, etc.

If you can’t run,at least try to get the ball up in the air in that situation.

that was neat at least, luis

There’s our run. Let’s try to have it hold up.

Lubob has been good since he found out Montoyo’s name.

Night need to introduce him to Yoan and TA next. 

Hanser’s got no shot against this guy

I'll say 4-1 Houston
